March 13, 2006
Updated Race Plan
My training has gone to shit. The daily demands of family, work, and building a new house (including selling our old house and moving) have taken a huge chunk out of my time to train.
I have been horribly torn on how to deal with this. I find myself struggling to stay motivated to get out and train knowing that my performance will most likely be much lower than last year. Currently I am struggling to maintain more than 2 or 3 workouts a week of between 30 - 50 minutes. I have had three decent workouts over the past four days, hopefully I can turn it into something more.
I have lowered my expectations for the year. I only have one goal, complete a 1/2 Ironman to make up for my DNF at last year's Square Lake. Outside of that any racing I do is more for gauging my current fitness or simply forcing me to have a hard workout. Below is my revised schedule.
Triathlons
Heart of the Lakes - July
Pigman 1/2 Ironman - August**
** only real goal
Bike Racing
As many of them as I can do
Opus Crits - April - May (every Tuesday)
TNT Series
Durand Road Race - April (late)
Ken Woods Memorial Road Race - April (late)
Loon State Road Race (May)
Tour of 10,000 Lakes (maybe if I can pull a team together)
State Road Race Championship (late June)
Hopkings Rasberry Crit - early July
